This anime is a pleasure to watch - it's hard to pull off ninjas in contemporary day after all and this is something that is done well here. The action is good, the story is decent (the whole idea of the boy/girl who has extreme hidden powers that is protected by the good and desired by the evil is always appealing after all), and the characters are pretty well fleshed out. What made this anime fall a little short of great for me was that the story wasn't really developed far or well enough, and that Rokujou, except for his powers, is mostly useless. This anime is mostly about the beginning of everything and needs a sequel or special or a couple of ovas to do the story justice. But if you're looking for ninjas, action, friendship, mysterious power, and drama, then you won't be disappointed by this anime!
